cupied by them.
The huge derrick at the Cathedral at ST.
! Augustine, fell with a tremendous crash
Monday morning. Some say 1t was occa-
stoned by faulty construction, while Others
are equally certain that it was caused by
| the careleSsneSs of workmen.
! During rush of business Thursday a
clerk in a popular store at st. Augustine,
| accepted s. Confederate bill in payment
for a small purchase, and handed back 81 50
in good silver of the coinage Of Uncle Sam.
The bill was afterwards redeemed
1t is more than probable that st. Angus
! tine will go dry" for at least four days.
The liquor licenses all expire Sept. 30, and the
! County Commissioners will not meet until
| Oct. 4 to act on the new petitions The
only way to avoid general closing will be
for the commissioners TO hold a special
meeting, which, it is said, they are not
likely TO do.
The second attempt to incorporate Winter
Park was made Saturday, but failed, owing
to the lack of a quorum at meeting called
for the purpose. A unanimous sentiment
in favor of Incorporation prevails, but the
unfortunate nomination OF strongly parti-
san ticket caused the absence of nearly one
half the voters. A faulty record was
fatal flaw in the first attempt. Plans for
third trial are uDder consideration, and it is
probable that satisfactory and harmoni-
GUS result may soon be reported.
G. r. Pltzer, the present Postmaster of
New Smyrna, and Christopher Westall
prominent merchant, are circulating petit
ton asking that Mr.. Pitzer be continued in
his office, but. if that is impossible, for Mr..
Westall to be appointed in his stead. 1t is
being extensively signed. Milton Bryan is
circulating paper which indorseS him as a
good Democrat a competent man, and one
acceptable to the people 1t also has many
signatures. All three are well liked and re-
spected here, and between a desire TO oblige
all and fear Of offending at least one of
them, some feel ike taking to the woods.
1t is now said that Henry NJ. Flagler, is
not content with building at St. Augustine
the most magnificent hotel in the world.
Information has been received from one
who is supposed to know that Mr.. Flagler
will shortly commence the erection of
another enormous hotel on the land which
he has filled in on the east side of the st.
Sebastian. Two hundred men have been
working for months in filling in the old
marsh bordering on the river, until old
residents are puzzled to discover landmarks
with which they were formerly well &C
quainted Mr. Flagler has already trans
formed the old town and is now looking to-
ward the suburbs
Francis has formed an Industrial and
Citizens, business Associationn in the infer

engaged in any industrial pursuit Dr.
cyrus. of the PENAL horticultural Society
was in attendance at the meeting for organ
ization, and was enrolled as member of the
society. He addressed the meeting in a
very pleasing and practical manner, and
made some valuable suggestions The point
he dwelt upon as being of paramount i'm
portance was the harvesting or disposition
of the orange and other fruit crops. He
urged united effort and harmony among the
members, and especially frequent meetings
for the purpose of discussing matters of in
